HC Deb 25 March 1867 vol 186 cc469-70
MR. WARNER

said, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he can furnish the House with any estimate of the probable number of new £10 Borough Voters who would be added to the Constituencies by that part of his Reform Bill which provides for the Re-distribution of Seats, irrespectively of the proposed alterations of the Franchise?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

Sir, the population of the new Boroughs is 438,000, and the occupiers, estimated at the same ratio as in the case of England and Wales, would be—above £10, 32,000; and below £10, 36,000; making a total of 68,000.
